Street Fighter 6 will have crossplay

Street Fighter 6 will reportedly support crossplay between different platforms.

This is according to fighting game YouTuber Maximilian Dood, who was able to spend some hands-on time with Street Fighter 6 for Summer Game Fest. "Confirmed from the devs directly. Street Fighter VI will have cross play," he said in a tweet shared late Friday afternoon.

The information was confirmed by journalist Andi Hamilton, who was also able to play the game early for GamesRadar's Street Fighter 6 hands-on preview. With two reputable sources saying in no uncertain terms that Street Fighter 6 will have crossplay, it's only a matter of time before we hear confirmation straight from Capcom.

Despite being announced during last week's PlayStation State of Play event, Street Fighter 6 is also launching on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. We've yet to hear about any noteworthy limitations when it comes to Street Fighter 6 crossplay, so it's safe to assume for now that fighters will be able to compete together regardless of platform.

GameSpot managing editor Tamoor Hussain also chimed in and added that Street Fighter 6 will support rollback netcode, which in its simplest terms ensures that highly competitive games with worldwide player networks run as smoothly as possible. It's not as big a deal for casual players, but it's a game changer for those in the e-sports scene.

Street Fighter 6 is due to launch sometime in 2023.
